This section introduces AppleTalk routing, explains how it operates,
and explains why you would want to configure it on the Avaya
P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice switch.
What is AppleTalk Routing?
AppleTalk Phase I was originally designed for local work groups.
AppleTalk Phase II extends the number of nodes in an internetwork
to over 16 million and the number of zones per port to 254. The
Avaya switch supports both AppleTalk Phase I and Phase II.
However, the translation from AppleTalk Phase I to Phase II is not
supported.
* Note: The Avaya P550R/P580/P880/P882 Multiservice switch
supports AppleTalk over Ethernet only.
